IN ART WE TRUST

Continuing the legacy of many of the National Trust’s historical houses – several of which were built with an art collection at their hearts – is the organisation’s Trust New Art programme, which commissions boundary-pushing creatives to dream up site-specific art installations for the houses it manages. This month, you can catch a pink abstract pineapple in Hertfordshire’s Berrington Hall’s Georgian garden (reflecting the 18th century’s fondness for exotic fruit), French sculptor Bernar Venet’s rusted steel pieces beyond the Versaillesinspired Parterre Terrace at Cliveden, and Dutch, London-based ceramicist Bouke de Vries’ space-age mirrored box inspired by the gilt lustreware at Worcestershire’s Croome Court ( left; nationaltrust.org).
